Not long after lunch, there were a series of reports from outside, indicating that the intention of marriage had arrived.

Mama Fu was ready yesterday, and when she heard the will at this time, she didn't hurry, called Zhou Zhou'e, and Li Ran went to the front hall.

The second grandmother, Cao, had already received a message from Mama Fu, and she had already prepared everything properly, and she had to be busy, that is, she hurried to Rongxuan Hall to invite Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang helped Mrs. Chen, went to the main hall to listen to the will, watched the official of the Ministry of Rites give the extraordinarily colorful decree to Li Ran, sent the official of the Ministry of Rites away according to the etiquette, went straight down the steps, and went back to Rongxuan Hall.

The second grandmother Cao laughed with her, explained a few words to Li Ran and Mama Fu in a low voice, and hurriedly went down the steps to chase after Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as the will of marriage came, there would be all kinds of things in the future.

No matter how the fourth sister is also the fourth lady of the Hou Mansion, these things are all the affairs of the Hou Mansion, if the old lady and the lady don't care, wouldn't it be her business?

It's her business, it's her business, she's not afraid of things, she's quite willing to do this!

But the old lady and the lady just made it clear that it was okay to shake off their hands, and they had to have a clear and definite word, and they had to give her a clear and definite order.

In this way, she managed it, firstly, to be upright, and secondly, to save just in case, she did her best, but her aunt said that she was nosy.

The second grandmother, Cao, chased all the way into Rongxuan Hall, first helped Mrs. Chen to sit down, and then quickly helped Mrs. Zhang to sit down, took the tea from the little girl, and served them one by one.

Seeing Mrs. Chen take a sip of tea, Cao Shi smiled and said, "Wife, this will to marry is coming, and there are many things to do, let's ...... house."

"You can do it."

Without waiting for Cao Shi to finish speaking, Old Madam Chen slowly commanded:

"You and the second child can watch it. There must be someone in charge outside, in this house, there is your Hou Ye, it's not far, you can go back and forth in a day, what's the matter, let the second child go to his father. ”

"What about the third sister's marriage?" The third grandmother answered first, and hurriedly asked again.

"With me, you don't have to worry about it, you and the second child are just busy with Cuiweiju's affairs, that's the emperor's errand."

Mrs. Zhang answered.

"Yes." Cao's heart settled.

That's it, she and Erlang are in charge of the marriage of the fourth lady, and the responsibilities of the Jieming are easy to do!

Alas, she is really very willing to take care of the family affairs of the fourth lady and General Xie!

……………………

After Mrs. Chen and the others left, Mama Fu watched the people pack up the incense and candles and other things that received the order, and put them away.

According to her prediction, before getting married, I am afraid that I will have to take it again or twice, and these things will be used.

Zhou E put her hands behind her back, and Li Ran, who was holding the scroll of holy decrees in one hand, went back to Cuiweiju.

After taking a few steps, Zhou E looked at the scroll of holy decrees that Li Ran held in his hand, watched the scroll of holy decrees turn around in Li Ran's hand, and then turned around, and coughed violently, "That, honorable, you have to hold it, two hands." ”

Li Ran raised his other hand, held the holy decree in front of his chest, looked at Zhou E and asked, "Was it okay yesterday?" ”

"It's okay, General Xie is reasonable."

After a pause, Zhou E sighed, "It's just too reasonable." ”

"Is it really nothing?" Li Ran looked at her and asked again.

"It's nothing, just give me a sentence, there are some things that should be said to you, I can talk to you, nothing else.

It's time for Momonon to go and exchange the silver, she bought more than six hundred taels back and forth! This turn, more than 6,000! ”

Zhou E flipped her hands back and forth, her flesh hurting and her heart aching.

"Can you exchange money now? Don't have to wait until you get married? ”

"The one who made the contract is determined, not to mention that you are still referring to marriage, and there is a holy decree, even if you die, or if he dies, it will be regarded as a relative."

Zhou E's eyes were simply slanted glances at Li Ran with disdain.

Li Ran paused and glared back, "How do you speak?" ”

"What's this? A spell for ten years.

By the way, Momonong said that it was thanks to you that she won this silver, saying that she would return the account, and keep the rest for you to add makeup, and she had to continue singing her little song. ”

"What's the makeup for me?" How can I have a dowry? ”

"It's not because you don't have a dowry that I want to add makeup to you. When I went out in the morning, I met Pan Gui and told me that the big guy was going to scrape together some money to add makeup to you. ”

Zhou E glanced at Li Ran with disdain again.

Li Ran sighed, "No, I don't want anyone's makeup, even if there is no dowry, General Xie will not dislike me." ”

"Tsk!"

Zhou E's voice was crisp and loud.

Li Ran leaned at her and snorted.

The two of them had just returned to Cuiweiju, and the second grandmother Cao had also arrived.

Li Ran greeted the door of the upper room.

Seeing her come out, Cao Shi hurriedly smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations to the fourth lady, it's really a great joy!" ”

Li Ran smiled and bent her knees.

In the past six months, everyone who has seen her has to come to such a congratulation and great joy.

It is indeed a great joy.

Cao Shi entered the house, did not sit down, congratulated again, and said with a smile:

"Just now, I went to ask the old lady to show me, and you also know that because of the affairs of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion, the old lady was physically and mentally exhausted, that is, she barely survived and did not fall ill.

Mrs. is busy with the marriage of the third sister, and in this month, it is a matter that will be decided, and she is completely unprepared, so she is really in a hurry.

The fourth lady here, I had to point to me and your second brother.

I have already sent someone to call your second brother back, I have to hurry up and let him go to Hou Ye's army, first, such a big matter, I have to tell Hou Ye quickly, and second, there are many things, Hou Ye has to make an idea.

When your second brother comes back and has a reply, I will come over to discuss with you immediately. ”

"I'm tired of my second sister-in-law." Li Ran bent his knees to thank him.

"What's that? It's all a family, so what's not to worry about? can do our best for the fourth lady, your second brother and I don't know how happy we are.

The fourth lady rested first, if there is anything, just send someone to find me. ”

The second grandmother, Cao, was very impressed by Li Ran's affairs, and hurriedly said goodbye after speaking.

Li Ran sent away the second grandmother Cao, and she didn't let go of her breath, and there was a series of rumors outside: The queen's reward has arrived.

Li Ran hurried out, and Zhou E followed her closely and rushed to the main hall in one go.

Mama Fu waited in the main hall, instructed Li Ran to accept the reward, and thanked the reward.

Sent away from the moment she came in, she kept looking at Li Ran's reward with a smile on her face, Li Ran was relieved, and was about to go down the steps to go back, but Mama Fu stopped her.

"Girl, wait a while, I'm afraid that the crown prince, and the princess's reward, are about to arrive."

Mama Fu is really proficient, that is, the kung fu of half a cup of tea, and the voice from outside is heard through:

The reward of the crown prince and the crown princess has arrived.

Li Ran kowtowed again and accepted the reward, this time looking at Mama Fu, she didn't dare to go down the steps.

"Girl, go back and rest, I'm afraid it won't be quiet, but I don't need to be here."

Mama Fu confessed with a smile, called a few safe mothers-in-law, held the pile of rewards, and went back to Cuiweiju.

After entering Cuiweiju, Li Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, sat on the couch, and leaned back into a pile of cushions.

In this half an hour's effort, she bowed three times and nine times, and then several two kowtows and six bows, and she didn't kowtow as much in these two lifetimes.

The pilgrimage kowtow can go more than a mile.

Li Ran had only drunk half of a cup of tea, and there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a mother-in-law said through the curtain:

"Girl, Mrs. Xie went to the house to congratulate the girl, at this time I will go to the old lady's courtyard to say goodbye, and I should come over in a while, the second grandmother told the maid to come and talk to the fourth lady."

Li Ran drank the cup of tea in two sips and sighed.

The Xie family was more eager than she expected.

Mrs. Xie came over quickly.

Mama Fu accompanied Li Ran and greeted her under the door of the weeping flowers.

Mrs. Xie turned into the weeping flower door, and the movement was very fast to bend the knees of Mama Fu first, "Don't dare to work Mama." ”

Then he looked at Li Ran and said with a smile: "Congratulations girl." ”

Li Ran smiled and leaned in, and leaned sideways to let Mrs. Xie inside.

The two entered the house, Xiaoyun held a cup of tea to Mrs. Xie, and Mama Fu handed a cup of tea to Li Ran, took two steps back, signaled Xiaoyun, and retreated together.

"Congratulations girl, what a great joy."

Seeing Mama Fu go out, Mrs. Xie put down the cup, tears flashing in her eyes.

Li Ran looked at the excitement and joy on her face that was no longer hidden, and lowered her eyes to sip tea.

"This is a happy thing, since yesterday the emperor and the crown prince ordered the sixth sister and father to take care of this matter, I will ......"

Mrs. Xie's voice was choked, and after a moment, she continued: "I also sent a letter to the Zhuangzi outside the city."

Since yesterday, I have sent people to watch outside the Ministry of Rites and the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion, waiting for the decree to come down so that I can come and say hello to the girl.

I was so anxious to come over to say hello to the girl, and I was so happy to come. Second, there is one important thing, which is to get as soon as possible, that is, the manpower around the girl. ”

Li Ran raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie met her gaze, and continued: "At this time, all the families in the capital must have already received the letter, and in a while, they will come to congratulate them, and all the families who sent the congratulatory ceremony should arrive, and there must be people around the girl."

Mama Fu is an old man waiting by her mother's side, but she is afraid that she will not be able to follow the girl for a long time. ”

Mrs. Xie's words paused, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Besides, she is the person next to Niangniang, and she must stand by Niangniang's side." ”

"Hmm." Li Ran hummed lowly.

When Mrs. Xie heard Li Ran's voice, she raised her eyes to look at her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"From now on, it will be very different from before, and the girl will have some capable people around her.

From that time on, I met the girl, and after I went back, Mrs. Ngapi began to choose the person for the girl to use in the future.

Ten years ago, General Xie took over the Xie family, and the girl knew about it. ”

In the last sentence, Mrs. Xie's tail rose slightly, revealing doubts, and Li Ran hummed.

"The Xie family is the Xie family of General Xie and the girl, Mrs. Ngapoi and Weng Weng, the only thing that I wish to do is that General Xie and the girl are doing well, General Xie and the girl are living well, that is, the Xie family is living well."

"Someone brought it?" Li Ran was silent for a moment, looked at Mrs. Xie and asked.

"Yes, I brought an old lady and two girls first, and they have been waiting with Mrs. Ngapoi. Girl, look? Mrs. Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm." Li Ran lowered her eyes and responded.

"Mama Sang, bring in the congratulatory gift I brought to the girl." Mrs. Xie raised her voice and commanded.

Mama Sang, who was standing under the porch with her hands down, bent her knees at Mama Fu, who was standing in front of her, and motioned to the two girls standing behind, turned sideways slightly, passed Mama Fu, and entered the upper room.

Mama Sang and the two girls saluted, and handed a small box in her hand to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie took the box and introduced Mama Sang first.

"This is the Sang family, nicknamed Qiuyue, forty-seven this year, and several generations of the Sang family have been leading envoys in the Xie family.

At the age of seven, Sang was selected into the inner house, at the age of twelve, he was selected to wait in Mrs. Ngapoi's courtyard, and at the age of twenty-one, he married Miao Zhong, the foreign steward, and after that, he still followed Mrs. Ngapoi to take care of chores such as socializing. ”

When Mrs. Xie said that this was Sang's, Mama Sang knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly to Li Ran.

Li Ran looked at Mama Sang carefully, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, not smiling, but also like smiling, looking extremely easy-going, which makes people feel close.

"This is a green eggplant, this is a purple eggplant."

Mrs. Xie then introduced the two girls.

"They were all nineteen years old, seven years old were picked into the inner house, and at the age of twelve they followed Mrs. Ngapoi.

The green eggplant has a good memory, the account is clear, and the writing is excellent.

The purple eggplant is careful and cautious, and has a little pharmacology. ”

Li Ran saw the purple eggplant from the green eggplant.

The eyebrows and eyes of the green eggplant are flying, and they look smart and gratifying, and the purple eggplant has a round face and almond eyes, quiet and composed, and the two of them are not too beautiful, but they are extremely attractive.

"This is a talisman that Mrs. Ngapi entrusted me to bring to you, it was given to her by my mother-in-law when Mrs. Ngapoi married into the Xie family, and now, it's time to give it to the girl."

Mrs. Xie pushed the small box in front of Li Ran.

Li Ran opened the box and picked up a piece of mutton fat jade plate like clotted fat inside, and the relief on the jade plate looked a little hideous.

"Thank you." Li Ran put the jade plate back in the box and thanked Mrs. Xie.

"You're welcome, girl."

Mrs. Xie's eyebrows were stretched and she smiled.

"Then I won't bother the girl too much. Ah Ji was anxious to come over to congratulate the girl, but I held her down, and the girl had a lot of things to do at this time. ”

Mrs. Xie stood up as she spoke.

Li Ran stood up, listened with a smile, and sent Mrs. Xie away.
